A very powerful–and possibly for some people, upsetting–depiction and discussion of opioid addiction has been posted by The New York Times. The multi-media feature is crafted from comments by countless people who have lived with substance use disorders, and it traces the process from first exposure through addiction, recovery, relapse, and treatment. It is a remarkable journey as shown in this feature, and will be especially valuable for those people who have a loved one struggling with opioid use disorder.
